the question is..what if twin tips didn't exist today, where would you be? do you think you would veer over to the dark side and join our fellow one planking snowboarder nemesis'. or do u think you would still be a freeskier at heart?

thoughts?

im saying like. if twin tips havnt been invented yet. *
 
If skis never evolved and they were still those 40mm waist neon racing toothpicks, I would switch. Twin tips saved skiing.
 
i would freestyle with my Volkl is75 racing skis hahahaah

No but seriously twin tips saved skiing hes right
 
I don't even ride twin tips. I think that applies for many skiers but for some I think its wider skis and rocker saved skiing.
 
Well I probably would be some gaper racer (sorry racers) skiing would be pretty boring (to me) as It would basically add quite a few restrictions to park skiing no buttering no 180s or any trick were you land back wards is off limits. Plus It would be way more difficult to progress you would go from learning straight airs straight to 3s off jumps. (Also I snowboard anyway (don't hate) so I would just do it more)
 
It is definitely the parabolic shape and rocker/camber that saved skiing. I can't imagine any situation where skis wouldn't have become what they are now and there is no way snowboards would be parabolic and have rocker/camber and skis wouldn't.

hes right, snowboarding helped save skiing, as much as that hurts to say its the bottom line

But of we didn't have twin tipped skis, what would you do?

not ski just because of that?

before i got into skiing i was a snowboarder. and i even tried snowblades when i was young. but it was when i discovered twin tips that i really fell in love with the sport and moved on from snowboarding
 
I would be snowboarding, like I did before I started to ski. Happier that I put two planks under my feet instead of one in the end!
